The is nearing its long-awaited launch and ahead of the long-awaited date, is doing its part to drum up interest in its first compact high-performance by introducing the Cruise M Bike Limited Edition. Yes, it’s a bicycle and yes, I’d like to have one, please. The special edition bike is limited to just 1,500 units and just like the car that it’s commemorating, it’s pretty much cut from the same cloth as the coupe.

For instance, it’s been finished with a Long Beach Blue metallic paint color, exactly the same as the official color of the M2 Coupe. In terms of its built and design, BMW spared no expense in giving the Cruise M Bike Limited Edition the best of both worlds. The frame is made from hydro-formed aluminum while the seat post and spacer are made entirely out of carbon fiber. It also has features a 30-gear system, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and 28-inch wheels that ensure comfort and balance for the rider in any type of road surface. Fittingly, BMW capped off the exclusivity of the Cruise M Bike Limited Edition with specially made plaques to denote the production number of a particular piece relative to all 1,500 available units.

The BMW Cruise M Bike Limited Edition is one of the highlight pieces of BMW’s 2016 bike collection. One unit retails for €1,400, which is around $1,600 based on current exchange rates. Seeing as the price of the actual BMW M2 Coupe starts at $51,700 (not including destination and handling), it might not be a bad idea to give the limited run Cruise M Bike a double-take.
